It's cheaper to buy a used PS3 and the games than using PS Now. This service is a joke, even worse than the old OnLive's pricing structure and many thought that was offensively abysmal. It's going to flop if nothing gets done about it.
Another reason I want little to do with cloud computing. I knew 4 years ago when that buzzword was new that the cloud will just be some glorified foam spray marketing scheme. Enough idiots buy into it thinking it's so amazing which is why cloud computing won't go away any time soon.
Now we got people defending this.
It's a difficult decision for Sony. Operating cloud services for applications the scale of PS3 games is very expensive and requires a lot of hardware as well as maintenance. It will get worse when more users are simultaneously using it.
Given that, and the severely dated internet infrastructure in the US, 2014 is just way to soon for cloud gaming. This kind of technology will become cheap and readily available in no less than 10 years.
I agree about inFamous Second Son being quite the disappointment. I am playing inFamous 2 to get the platinum. What a better game.
Finally the noise is going away. Now with the more important features like user ID changes, custom themes, PS1/PS2 BC, anything a little more gaming related is welcome.
It wouldn't matter if you have no friends.
I am hoping 300+. Disagrees are fun to collect for speaking your mind.
"The question is: is it worth buying a second time?"
Not for me. Not dropping a $50 on some glorified PS4 tech demo. I want NEW games, that's why I bought a PS4. So far, every PS4-only game have been disappointing. The games I am playing on the PS4 right now are cross platform/cross gen. This year is awful for the new generation of gaming.
What's the point of a cross gen first party title? If you want more people buying PS4s, releasing the same games on PS3 doesn't help. Yes, the PS4 is selling great, but they could've been selling more if PS3-only gamers have more reason to upgrade.
This year has been terrible for the new console generation.
PS4 uses a re-purposed PC GPU from 2012. Most PC gamers on a budget wouldn't bother considering using that. There will be limitations and throughout the lifecycle developers will choose between 1080p or 30FPS if they want to cram higher quality visuals. Many games already run at 30.
Corrupt? More like a smart kind of "corrupt." It's Best Buy's problem, not the consumer. By law, at least where I live, the store has to honor the price that was placed on a product whether that price was an error or not. I've taken advantage of many pricing errors Best Buy made on games.
People will complain about everything. If there's no third party games for Wii U, people will complain about that. If there's a reasonable third party game on Wii U, the same people will complain about that as well.
60FPS will look just as good. I value the game's performance way above teh pretty visuals anyway. A good story, fun game play and a smooth experience is all I ask for in a game.
Activision would rather make their own Crash games, adding regenerative health and checkpoints, and hope it would succeed only for them to find out that kind of game wasn't what Crash fans wanted.
I love the Xbox One. Such an amazing game console that gets better faster than the PS4. It even has a better games lineup for 2014. PS4 needs to wait until 2015 for anything remotely decent. My PS4 is going to get all dusty for Christmas.
Sony already dominated over most of Europe long ago. It's the UK that was Xbox territory.
Mario Kart 8 for me. Can't get enough of it yet.
Well that's pathetic. All of last gen it's "look at the abundance of amazing Sony exclusives. Sales don't equal quality." Now the tables have turned. Sony charges for online play and nobody here talks about free online anymore.

All that money Sony wasted on Gaikai just for this. We could've seen more PS4 exclusives this year.
